[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
They auto-root methods perform the same commands as manual so yes.

If you're already familiar with doing it manually, why risk the problems associated with autoroot scripts though? It doesn't take that long. Plus you gain the benefit of a little better understanding of what's going on as well as knowing exactly what step you have problems with (which shouldn't happen really) as opposed to just having to say "autoroot didn't work" because you don't know what step it errored on. Manual is the way to go.

Just my 2cents.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Just an example of it not working out properly:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1188806

It'll work, but the people using it are not the most informed on how to root, which is why they're using it and in order to use it, you have to be informed enough to know how do more or less what you would if you just pasted the commands using the manual method (sort of a catch-22).

tl;dr: you can use it, but the chances if it working right always and being a noob are not the greatest (nor is trying to get help if you screw it up).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Agreed, I've read a few cases where the autoroot script messed up in one spot or another. Manual root is def the way to go with the thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I like to think of the scripts as the easy way to do it for those who've done it or are doing it so often it's just a pain in the ass to do the manual method every time.

Scripts are just trouble if you can't verify the SDK is installed correctly and ADB works. And if you can do that, doing the rest is easy. The stuff you'll learn will prove useful as long as you're using android devices.
[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
Ok so i dont think this question has been answered before.. But since the same temproot, permaroot method has been used to s-off the evo and sensation wouldn't custom roms work the same way with a little bit of editting to the kernel and radio since we are on GSM and there on CDMA? Idk im just thinking here..
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
Why would you want that? It's the same sense 3.0.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
maybe he thinks he can get 3D effect just by flashing a rom
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
That would be cool. Lol
[HTC Sensation] TheJayyWilliams:
I see what you are saying, and considering the fact they are the same phone with the same hardware (except the screen/ram of course), the custom roms should work vice versa
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
That would be pretty cool to have 3D on the Sensation
[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
Good job guys for flipping what i said so totally around.. I'm not stupid like some of the members here that post **** like this for 3D on the phone im asking because if you go into the 3d forum they actually have a bigger rom selection at the moment then us and are getting bigger and bigger so i was wondering if we can flash there's so we have a even bigger selection!
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
Good point Sir. But I think, now that we are all S-OFF the developing community will grow slowly. We will get CM7, MIUI and what else on our phones.

YES!!!! At this point I'm wondering how pissed people with other HTC phones must be. A lot of the big names are flocking here pretty rapidly.

Anybody heard if any other big guns are coming like Myn, or Fresh rom(I think his name was flipz).
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
myn has a 3D. Not sure about flipzmode. I'm expecting something from myn sometime in the near future. (unless he returned his 3d, which I don't think he did) Pretty much all of the 'big guns' as you put it, are here for the 3d. The only one I know who's not in on it is Calkulin, sadly.
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
+1 for Myn. My guess is he is in the works to release something great as always. If I remember correct it took him some time to get his rom out for the OG Evo but damn that thing was flawless from RLS 1.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marksee:
Call At&t and be nice, tell them you are giving it to a friend, and they are on tmobile so you need to unlock it (act naive).

They will either give you the code, else= ask them when they can give yo the code, it depends on the month you bought it, i think they can unlock it after a certain period if time. They won't give you a date, but they will give you a general month that it will be unlocked in.

good luck

Hi all, any suggestions for a slim case that doesn't cover the entire bezel? Also magnet free. I have one from eBay and have 2 problems. One, the magnets cause GPS and compass interference.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] samaral:
Hi Dev's

This is not my code, so credits to the owner 'creams'

I happened to stumble on some code yesterday from somebody who have attempted to integrate BLN to his kernel and done it successfully.

I thought the dev's might like to take a look at this one and implement this on their work.

blog : http://creamsnexus.blogspot.com/

git : git://github.com/creams/SGS2-SC02C-BLN-Kernel.git

His kernel was built for the Jap version of GS2.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
AdamG has already implemented this into his AOSP ROM and it's working fantasticly, I know another Dev has already implemented it into a ROM just forgot his name. Thanks for pointing us to the source though!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] samaral:
hope that the devs give credit to the fix/implementation. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mach0boi:
Ninpo also has putted it into his GIT :) so maybe they are already aware of it ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] samaral:
oh i gave him a pm about it before i posted this. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mach0boi:
July 31 in his GIT. You're ahead of him maybe. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
I hope we will get it on MIUI and CM7 as well
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
Don't know about MIUI but for sure on CM7. It's probably low on their to do list but BLN is something they will most definitely support just as they did with the 2X/G2X
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] samaral:
im from the past :D

i didnt check his git commit date. thanks for the correction.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
Do i also need to install any app from the market to enable it ?

Answer : Yes
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] soupiejr:
Sorry if this is a noob question but what is BLN?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sunwee:
Back Light Notification

using the led keys for notification.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
Yay, my kernel will have BLN support to in the next version, just need to build all the seperate versions :D

(time to make a "one-for-all" kernel, that goes onto any (stock) ROM.... :rolleyes: )
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
the only downside to this bln "version" is that it uses a kernel wakelock that will be hard on the battery:(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
Yep, people are in for a treat when they realize their battery is being raped. We'll have to wait for CM7 to implement it into the framework like they did with the Optimus 2X/G2X
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vegetaleb:
Nothing can beat the old good trackball lights on N1 :eek:

It's a pitty all the brands stopped producing trackball,they could just reduce its size :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
:eek:

:(

Yeah.... that is.... so not nice.... but well.... can't have everything.... :-/

// EDIT

Hm, for one, maybe some things can still be tweaked in the involved kernel code and for the other, how about disabling BLN when not needed? Does that release the wakelock? Haven't checked yet.... should check....

And does the drain/wakelock accour all the time while while activated or only when the lights are actually on - as far as I understood it so far the wakelock ist required to keep the powersupply up for the lights, but when no blinking is needed (due to no notification) the wakelock could/should be released....

Maybe that's something to tweak if that isn't already the case.

If the drain only accours when the lights are on, that's kinda OKish IMO, time to answer the damn phone *lol*
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
so creams put out an update that is supposed to release wakelock after the led cycle (pro app needed)

That would be an acceptable solution, I am testing to see;)

ps, btw jlevy he wasn't keen to your battery rape comment:eek:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
NICE!

Compiler is already running :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jlevy73:
It wasn't anything personally directed at him. I'm very grateful for his work in bringing BLN to our devices. I appreciate the update it looks like it will have a helpful impact on battery life.

Download and use SEUS

[Xperia Play General] captain67:
If you have the phone connected to wifi, do an OTA instead.

Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Update Now
[Xperia Play General] Yourmama:
It says I have to use a computer, I will try seus
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
It forces people to use a computer when they've modified system apps. If you rooted and removed some, that's why. If you used titanium to back them up and remove them, restoring the bloat will allow an OTA.

[General Questions and Answers] DustinDD:
I might be getting an android tablet for my birthday in 6 days.

After researching the currently available ones, I decided a 32gb GT 10.1 would be best for me. My only question is should I wait for tegra 3 before asking for one? I know there's always something better coming out soon, but I've heard that tegra 3 tablets may be released by the end of this month!

If they were coming out this holiday, I could get a GT now because by the holidays I could sell it to a friend and purchase a tegra 3 one. I just don't want to get this and then have tegra 3 come out in a few weeks.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] okaytran:
I was recently at MLG (for those of you who know what that is) and I saw this guy playing a music game on his samsung android phone (think it mightve been a captivate). The game looked like a rock band/ guitar hero type game, but there were a few distinctive features that make it stand out.

1. played in landscape

2. had 5 note buttons

3. included a slide across button transition (like on a hold note, you would slide your finger from one button to the other while keeping your finger on the screen)

I'm kind of a shy guy, and wasn't willing to ask him. I totally regret it now because I am really curious on what game this is. Thanks for helping me identify this.

Seriously, who's in charge of the stock theming for our Charges? Who's decision was it to release a good phone on the market with a POOP BROWN COLOR SCHEME?! They should be fired!

And why does the battery life SUCK on this phone?! Why is it that we have to painstakingly calibrate the battery ourselves just to squeeze a days worth out of it? Samsung, I know you're trying to keep the costs down, but would it kill you to put a Li-Po battery in here or something?

Why does my 4G randomly drop to 3G, and then to 1X? Granted, somehow I've been seeing a lot less of this lately, but why did you let it happen in the first place?! Come on, that didn't happen to you ONCE during beta testing, Sammy?

Who's the joker who put so little ram into this phone? I bet when they designed it they were like "oh, this is going to screw so many people lol..."

And while I'm at it, I hate noobs. They don't even ATTEMPT to either look through the stickies or use the search.

Other than that, I am truly happy with this phone. I made the right decision when I upgraded.

Regarding all android smartphones:

1. What happened to having dedicated Dial and End keys on our *phones*? I'd use that a lot more than a search key.

2. Why can't we get good voice control that just works! My old flip phone did this better.

3. How hard would it be to make data connections work on demand? Take it a step further than juice defender (which doesn't work on our phone anyway). Let us control what apps access the network and when. In the meantime, stop waisting precious battery life keeping data connected "just in case".

4. Build in working app + data backup already. The average user shouldn't have to worry about rooting just for this. Plus they wouldn't lose angry birds progress every time a verizon rep asks them to factory reset. ;-)

Where the ****s the notification LED, they couldn't even put it on the dam galaxy S2! Let's hope the U.S. versions get it right.

I'll admit, the colors on TW3 suck some ween(well, TW3 in general sucks some ween) but apparently the brighter colors consume more battery because of the SA+ screen.

Battery life is alright.... IF YOU CALIBRATE & UNDERCLOCK. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT! Still better then the 4 hour battery life on my enV Touch, and that wasn't even a smartphone.

FROYO? REALLY? FROYO? COME ON, IT'S A DAM $300 PHONE.

I DONT LIKE THE PUZZLE UNLOCK SCREEN. It doesn't show the battery % and I can't switch to silent from the same screen like AOSP, and why the hell does it need to say Verizon Wireless ON THE DAM LOCK SCREEN!? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FLASH SO MUCH **** JUST TO MAKE THIS PHONE GOOD.

Come on 4g, what the hell. I'm in a full 5 bar area and it still feels the need to drop to 3g. It's always happening when I'm browsing the web too, not when the phone is sleeping where 4g data wouldn't be necessary but when I'm ACTUALLY USING THE PHONE. 4G IS ****ING WITH ME.

and finally..... WHERE THE **** IS TW4. If this phone releases GB + TW4 + source then this phone will be ABSOLUTELY ****IN' FANTASTIC. It's funny, even with all the flaws this phone is still awesome. It would have been perfect if they just added/fixed the above things from the start. You're right, it does feel good to vent.
